Summary
H pylori eradication failure with recommended triple therapy is mainly related to antibiotic
resistance. However,IN VITRO culture of H pylori is uneasy and is not performed in routine
practice. A molecular test of antibiotic resistance easy to perform is now available. The aim
of the study was to compare eradication rates obtained with the standard treatment and with a
treatment guided by the results of the molecular detection of antibiotic resistance.
